To reduce system complexity and implementation costs, fully-controlled H-bridge (FHB) modules and diode H-bridge PFC (DHB) modules are cascaded to form a hybrid cascaded H-bridge rectifier (HCHR). In this paper, the advantages of such a HCHR over other cascaded rectifiers are analyzed depending on the numbers of FHB modules and DHB modules. Therefore, to assign proper numbers to these two kinds of modules for the HCHR, a configuration determination method is investigated under balanced and imbalanced loads. Three principles are also presented to guide the configuration determination for the HCHR. In addition, the constraints for selecting the step-up ratio and filter inductance are derived based on a phasor diagram analysis. The proposed configuration determination method is validated by simulations under three different conditions in the PSIM environment. Finally, experiments are carried out on a scaled-down prototype where the configuration can be easily adjusted. The feasibility of the proposed theory is then verified by experimental results.

본 논문에서는 Re-enterant 공동 공진기의 내부 도체봉 길이 변화에 따른 공진 주파수의 가변특성을 실험정그로 고찰하였다. 실험시 제작된 공진기는 동축 케이블과 원형 도파관을 경합한 형태로서 동축 케이블의 내부 도체봉의 길이를 축방향으로 면화시킬 수 있도록 하여, 내부 도체봉의 임의의 길이에 대한 Tmonq 모드의 공진 주파수를 측정하였다. 경과의 타당성을 입증하기 위해서 실험 경과와 여러 사람들의 이론치를 비교하였다. 본 실험의 결과는 파장계, 공진기?l 증폭기의 공진 회로의 설계및 제작에 활용할 수 있으며 마이크로 웨이브 집적회로(MIC, Microwave Integrated Circuits)나 여과기에 사용되는 유전체 공진기의 공진 주파수를 가변시키는데도 사용할 수 있다.

Cell recycled culture of succinic acid-producing Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens was anaerobically carried out using an internal membrane filter module in order to examine the physiological response of A. succiniciproducens to a high-cell-density environment. The optimal growth of A. succiniciproducens and its enhanced succinic acid productivity were observed under $CO_2$-rich conditions, established by adding $NaHCO_3$ and $Na_2CO_3$, in the cell recycled system. A. succiniciproducens grew up to 6.50 g-DCW/l, the highest cell concentration obtained so far, in cell recycled cultures. The cells did not change their morphology, which is known to be easily changed in unfavorable or stress environments. The maximum productivity of succinic acid was about 3.3 g/l/h, which is 3.3 times higher than those obtained in batch cultures. These results can serve as a guide for designing highly efficient cell recycled systems for succinic acid at a commercial level.

The nuclear power plants in South Korea have been designed in accordance with the U.S. Regulatory Guide 1.60 (R.G 1.60) design spectrum of which the peak frequency range is 2-10 Hz. The characteristics of the earthquakes at the Korea nuclear power plant sites were observed to be closer to that of Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) than the R.G 1.60, which is a lower amplification in a low frequency range, and a higher amplification in a high frequency range. The possibility of failure for sensitive power plant components in the high frequency range has been considered and evaluated. In this study, in order to improve the reliability of nuclear plant and administrative control procedures, seismic tests of an emergency diesel generator (EDG) were conducted using a shaking table under both high and low frequency ranges. From the tests, oil/lubricant leaks from the bolt connections, the fuel filter and the fuel inlet were observed. Therefore, the check list of nuclear plant components after an earthquake should include bolt connections of EDG as well as anchor bolts.

The main objective of this work is to propose a reliable routine standard operation procedures (SOP) for structural health monitoring and diagnosis of nuclear power plants (NPPs). At present, NPPs have monitoring systems that can be used to obtain the quantitative health record of containment (CTMT) buildings through system identification technology. However, because the measurement signals are often interfered with by noise, the identification results may introduce erroneous conclusions if the measured data is directly adopted. Therefore, this paper recommends the SOP for signal screening and the required identification procedures to identify the dynamic characteristics of the CTMT of NPPs. In the SOP, three recommend methods are proposed including the Recursive Least Squares (RLS), the Observer Kalman Filter Identification/Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (OKID/ERA), and the Frequency Response Function (FRF). The identification results can be verified by comparing the results of different methods. Finally, a preliminary CTMT healthy record can be established based on the limited number of earthquake records. It can be served as the quantitative reference to expedite the restart procedure. If the fundamental frequency of the CTMT drops significantly after the Operating Basis Earthquake and Safe Shutdown Earthquake (OBE/SSE), it means that the restart actions suggested by the regulatory guide should be taken in place immediately.

The purpose of this study was to propose a design that shows optimal performance by changing the geometry of the internal flow path of the receptacle in order to prevent the decrease in flow rate and differential pressure performance due to the application of the receptacle in the hydrogen charging system. To achieve this, 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation was performed for the receptacle, according to the geometry of the flow path inside the receptacle. The pressure results at the inlet and outlet were measured the same as both of N and H₂ in the experiment, and the flow rate of H₂ was 3.75 times higher than that of N₂. In addition, since the flow performance of the receptacle improved under conditions where the flow path was widened, it was confirmed that reducing the diameter of the poppet and the width of the guide are advantageous for improving performance.

본 연구에서는 하나의 장치 내에서 "싸이클론-관성충돌-여과포 집진"이 동시에 이루어지는 멀티 집진기의 집진 효율을 극대화시키기 위한 설계 조건을 검토하였다. 먼저 싸이클론의 입구 형상에 대한 수치 해석 결과, 접선 유입식 입구에 가이드 베인을 추가로 설계한 경우 선회류의 회전수가 많고 강하게 형성되어 사이클론부에서 조대입자의 유선 이탈을 촉진시키는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 예측되었다. 그러나 사이클론의 하단부가 벤츄리 모양이기 때문에 약 4~5 m/s의 강한 하향 흐름이 호퍼 하단까지 지속되어 분진의 재비산 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에, 사이클론부 하단의 벤츄리를 제거하며 분진 재비산 문제는 해소 가능할 것으로 나타났다. 충돌 차단형 배플의 간격을 조정하여 통과유속을 빠르게 한 결과, 충돌 효과는 더욱 증가할 것으로 예측되었으나 탈리 분진이 간섭을 받을 수 있는 문제점이 예상되어 배플은 기본 설계안대로 유지하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 나타났다.

This result will be a guide of further study on total isocyanate analysis.

심해자원채광시스템은 모선, 양광관, 버퍼, 집광기 등으로 구성된다. 양광관의 위쪽은 모선과 연결되고 아래쪽은 버퍼에 연결된다. 버퍼와 집광기는 유연 호스로 연결된다. 채광시스템의 원활한 운영을 위해서는 전체 시스템의 안정화가 이루어져야 하는데 이를 위해서는 버퍼의 위치를 능동적으로 제어해야한다. 본 연구에서 가장 중요한 부분은 길이 5000m에 달하는 양광관의 동적 거동해석이다. 양광관을 세장구조물로 단순화시켜 모델링하고 고유함수 전개법으로 해석하였으며, 버퍼에 장착되는 추진시스템에 대한 제어에는 PID 제어기법을 적용하였다. 버퍼에 작용하는 외력은 양광관에 작용하는 항력에 의한 반력이 지배적이므로 본 논문에서는 유연호스의 영향은 무시하였다. 파랑 중에서 모선은 저주파수 운동과 동시에 고주파 운동을 하게 되는데 버퍼가 추적하고자 하는 모선의 위치는 저주파수 운동에 해당하므로 고주파수 성분을 걸러내기 위하여 반드시 필터링을 필요로 한다. FIR 필터를 사용하여 모선 위치를 필터링한 값을 제어기의 목적위치로 설정하였다. 이러한 해석을 바탕으로 수치계산 알고리즘을 구축하여 모선의 여러 운동을 상정하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이러한 수치계산 결과 필터링을 통해 고주파수 성분이 잘 걸러짐을 확인하였다. 또한 버퍼의 위치와 속도에 대한 제어를 통해서 버퍼를 허용범위(watch circle) 안에 머무르게 하면서 전체시스템을 안정화시킨다는 것을 밝혔다.

At the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences, physical human phantoms were developed to evaluate various radiation protection quantities, based on the mesh-type reference computational phantoms of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. The physical human phantoms were fabricated such that a radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter (RPLGD) with a Tin filter, namely GD-352M, could be inserted into them. A Tin filter is used to eliminate the overestimated signals in low-energy photons below 100 keV. The measurement uncertainty of the RPLGD reader system based on GD-352M should be analyzed for obtaining reliable protection quantities before using it for practical applications. Generally, the measurement uncertainty of RPLGD systems without Tin filters is analyzed for quality assurance of radiotherapy units using a high-energy photon beam. However, in this study, the measurement uncertainty of GD-352M was analyzed for evaluating the protection quantities. The measurement uncertainty factors in the RPLGD include the reference irradiation, regression curve, reproducibility, uniformity, energy dependence, and angular dependence, as described by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These factors were calculated using the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement method, applying ISO/ASTM standards 51261(2013), 51707(2015), and SS-ISO 22127(2019). The measurement uncertainties of the RPLGD reader system with a coverage factor of k = 2 were calculated to be 9.26% from 0.005 to 1 Gy and 8.16% from 1 to 10 Gy. A blind test was conducted to validate the RPLGD reader system, which demonstrated that the readout doses included blind doses of 0.1, 1, 2, and 5 Gy. Overall, the E_n values were considered satisfactory.
